Q

Structural element of connective tissue that synthesizes the matrix and maintains the health of the tissue

A

Cells (Cytes, blasts)

21

Part of the matrix of connective tissue, is amorphous and composed of glycoaminoglycans, traps and holds water to alter viscosity

A

Ground Substance

22
Q

Second component of the matrix, is things like collagen, elastic, and reticular

A

Fibers

23

A

Connective tissue proper

24
Q

Loose connective tissue that stores nutrients and insulates the body

A

Adipose

25
Q

Loose connective tisssue that is a network of fibers and forms a skeleton like structure

ex: lymph nodes, bone marrow

A

Reticular Tissue

26
Q

Type of connective tissue proper made up mostly of fibers that run parallel to each other, they are very closely packed

Ex) Tendons and ligaments

A

Dense connective tissue

27
Q

Dense connective tissue that are irregularly arranged, can withstand tension exerted in many different directions

ex) dermis of the skin, fibrous covering of the organs

A

Dense irregular connective tissue
